It's not a stretch to say tonight's football game is the biggest in Northridge High School's history.

In fact, the players confirmed as much after a spirited practice Thursday afternoon.

"It's the biggest since I've been here," senior wide receiver Brandon Miller said. "Last time we beat (Hillcrest) was my freshman year when we beat them 23-17 at their place for their homecoming. So this is going to be the biggest game."

The 2007 win remains the only time Northridge, which came into existence in 2003, has beaten Hillcrest.
